Vigil to mark Atlantic City casino garage collapse

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Relatives and union members will remember four tradesmen who were killed in the collapse of an Atlantic City casino’s garage ten years ago.

The South Jersey Building Trades Council has scheduled a march and vigil Wednesday.

The 2,400-space garage was being built as part of an expansion at Tropicana Casino Resort. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that the lack of steel reinforcements in the concrete and inadequate support for the completed floors of the parking garage were to blame for the 2003 collapse.

The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/16JYkkA ) reports Trades Council president Will Pauls said in a statement that the union promised it would not forget the families of those killed.
